IIAM Groups Skin & Laser Clinic at Pune offers best treatment for cyst and lipoma.Cyst is noncancerous, closed pockets of tissue that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other material.Cysts are common on the skin and can appear anywhere. They feel like large peas under the surface of the skin.

A lipoma is a growth of fat cells in a thin, fibrous capsule usually found just below the skin. Lipomas are found most often on the torso, neck, upper thighs, upper arms, and armpits, but they can occur almost anywhere in the body. One or more lipomas may be present at the same time. Lipomas are the most common noncancerous soft tissue growth.

Cause :

• Cysts can develop as a result of infection, clogging of sebaceous glandsoil glands), or around foreign bodies, such as earrings.

• The cause of lipomas is not completely understood, but the tendency to develop them is inherited. A minor injury may trigger the growth. Being overweight does not cause lipomas.

Symptoms :

• Slow-growing.

• Painless.

• Smooth to the touch when they are rolled under the skin.

• Painful if secondarily infected.

• Are small [0.4 in. (1 cm) to 1.2 in. (3 cm)] and felt just under the skin.

• Are movable and have a soft, rubbery consistency.

• May remain the same size over years or grow very slowly.

• Often the most bothersome symptom is the location or increased size that makes the lipoma noticeable by others.
